Many rumours have been circulating about the fall
of Opcode, the creator of the OMS Midi standard,
and of the first integrated Midi & Digital Audio
music sequencing software application for the
Macintosh, Studio Vision Pro, and lately Vision
DSP. Reports have shown that the number of
registered users of Vision exceeds 40,000,
including many music & audio industry professionals
working in top recording studios, with some of the
biggest names in the business.
The rumours center around a dispute between Gibson
(the guitar company who bought Opcode in 1998) &
Opcode. A reality undisputed is the elimination of
techincal support of the software by Opcode, and
the firing of most of the Opcode staff.
The real story can be found here:

You might want to post this to the public. It might
help keep Opcode alive.
